Preventing, educating and protecting minors from new risks in the field of mental health and cybervictimisation

Legal, psychological, criminological and educational challenges at a family and school level
 

Location: The Aula Magna room (on our Barcelona campus)a

Date: 4 June 2018

  • Introduction
  • Programme
The early contact minors have with ICTs leads to significant educational psychology and educational dilemmas. Likewise, premature access to technology can also have an impact not only on the maturation and intellectual development of minors, but also on the risk of them experiencing mental health problems and victimisation.  
 
When faced with the difficulty of creating safe and impenetrable spaces, it is important to rethink dominant culture in terms of the way we use ICTs.  The challenge consists of educating people in new values that can counteract current risks and cyber threats, without setting aside the gradual promotion of the potential of technological progress.  
 
Education is prevention, but prevention also involves laying down rules.  To do this, the social and educational environments in which digital adolescents spend their time must be organised in a different way.  Parents and schools can and must implement safety and prevention measures that are efficient. 
 
During the event there was a debate on standards and measures of diligence, supervision and response that, in this era of compliance, should be in place in family, educational and social environments in order to deal with this issue in time. Likewise, the keys to preparing and progressively empowering minors will be tackled based on a psychological and educational approach. This is done in the offline world by looking at it as the starting point, and as a previous stage when minors are in contact with reality, interact with their immediate environment and receive their early education.
